GARMENT-FORM.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17', 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM F. PALM- ENBERG and EMIL T. PALMENBERG, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Garment- Form, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to garment forms such as shown and described in the Letters Patent of the United States, No. 739,212, granted to William F. Palmenberg, on December 15, 1903.

The object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved garment form provided with a shoulder padding extender, arranged to compensate for any additional building up required in the padding at the shoulders, at the same time maintaining a correct contour of the upper arm portions.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement; Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional front elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged face view of the shoulder padding extender.

The body A of the garment form is of the usual shape and material, and is provided with arm-hole atterns B secured in place by screws C anc C, to allow removal of the arm-hole patterns whenever it is desired to exchange one set of arm-hole patterns for another set of a different size and shape. Each of the arm-hole patterns B is provided with annular ridges for indicating arm-holes of different sizes, as more fully shown and explained in the Letters Patent above referred to. Now between each arm-hole pattern B and the shoulder portion of the ody A is interposed a shoulder padding extender D, preferably made in the form of a plate having an elongated slot D, through which extend the screws C and C, so as to allow of conveniently sliding the shoulder padding extender D up or down between the arm-hole pattern B and the corresponding shoulder portion of the body A. The top taining the contour of the upper arm portions.

It is understood that the extender D fits sufficiently snug between the arm-hole pat tern B and the shoulder of the body A, so that when the extender D is pulled up or pushed down by the operator it remains in the adjusted position. If desired the extender D' can be readily removed on first removing the screws 0 and C and the arm-hole pattern B, after which the arm-hole pattern B is replaced on the shoulder by the use of the screws C and C. It is understood that the extender D is independent of the body A and the arm-hole pattern B, but is preferably interposed between the two.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A garment form having a body, an armhole pattern, and an extender interposed between the body and the arm pattern.

2. A garment form provided with a shoulder padding extender, comprising a plate having its upper end rounded to conform with the arch of the shoulder.

3. A garment form provided with a adding extender at the terminal of the shou der, said extender consisting of a plate having its end rounded to conform with the arch of the shoulder, and means for raising and lowering the plate.

4. A garment form comprising a body, an arm hole pattern attached to the body at the shoulder, and an extender comprising a plate having its upper end flanged and rounded to conform with the arch of the shoulder, and adjustable up and down on the said arm hole pattern.

5. A garment form comprising a body, an arm-hole pattern attached to the body at the shoulder, and an extender adjustable up and down on the said arm-hole pattern, the top of the extender being in the form of an upwardly, outwardly and downwardly curved flange.
